- Temu and Shein will be getting more expensive come 25th April 2025.
- The companies are blaming increases to their operating expenses thanks to sweeping export tariffs from the US.
- Other international companies will likely be increasing their prices in the coming months, including for South Africans.
What does this have to do with technology though
E-commerce platform changes?
Basically, the effect of tariffs on the chinese e-commerce platforms.
Their eCommerce platforms are not changing from a technology perspective. They are raising their prices. There is no technology related news here.

I don’t shop on either, but somehow Shien started emailing me and Gmail report spam and unsubscribing isn’t stopping the emails.
Block the email sender and don’t use the unsubscribe button as that can have malware
Can you elaborate about having malware through unsubscribe buttons ? If you have some exemple too to facilitate my research it would be great. Have a nice evening
In this case I’m not clicking unsubscribe, I’m letting Gmail do it.

Honestly, this is probably one of the few good things coming out of this tariff war.

Should have accomplished it the right way by getting rid of the loophole that makes those sites so profitable instead

What is the loophole that makes them profitable?

This is such an awful idea as it stops us from buying international packages from anywhere. The ‘loophole’ is already closed for China.

And still not enough to curb the amount of trash being produced, shipped around the world and then trashed locally when it doesn’t match the expectations of the buyer / rips after putting it on.

Yup. There should be high enough tariffs that it discourages shitty trinket buying… But focused on the crap, not just a blanket
